A haze of pink washed across the morning, its hope pushing through the fear. The rising of the sun, each ray reaching towards a new chance. Sprinkles of light sending a positive message. Beth didn’t know what the new year would bring, but they were together.

A long year, but his surprise at an early breakfast of pancakes and honey, a brilliant start to the day. She leaned into his arms, linking her fingers with his. She took a deep breath, her gaze lifted, her thoughts clear.

‘Thank you.’

‘For what?’

‘No problem,’ he kissed wet, warm cheeks.

‘Love you.’
